喜樂美語
  1. 1

    The body's power to fight off a sickness, so you do not get sick from it (or do not get sick from it again). Doctors also use it for special protection from being punished, even when a rule would normally apply to you - like 'diplomatic immunity' (some foreign officials cannot be arrested in another country) or a witness given 'immunity' (a promise she will not be punished if she tells the truth in court). Watch which word follows: the medical sense takes to — 'immunity to measles' — and the legal sense takes from — 'immunity from prosecution'.

    免疫力；（法律）豁免權

組成From Latin: im- (not) + a root meaning 'duty, service' - so the oldest sense was 'not having to do a duty,' which is where the 'protected from a rule' meaning comes from. The body-fighting-sickness meaning grew out of that later.
